Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
• 8 ears corn in the husk
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh basil
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup rice vinegar
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 1.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon grated lime zest

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Trim corn husks of any long hanging parts and excess silk. Place in a large bowl with water and soak for 1 hour.

Step 3

Place corn on the grill and turn every 6 minutes 1/4 turn until all 4 sides have been grilled, about 24 minutes. Allow corn to cool until cold enough to handle easily.

Step 4

Remove husks from cooled corn and cut corn off into a serving bowl. Add cherry tomatoes, red pepper, onion, and basil.

Step 5

Whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, salt, garlic, lime zest, and pepper in a small bowl until well blended. Pour dressing over corn salad and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
